Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1031

As she walked out of the ward, Raeleigh made her way to the staircase. She did not like taking the elevator. As she stopped at the entrance of the staircase, she was bewildered to find Zorion tagging along.

"Are you alright?” Zorion asked. "Left something in the ward, huh?"

Raeleigh shook her head and said, "Nah. Anyway I' m not leaving yet."

Instantly, she felt bad. She thought that she had intentionally created a window of opportunity for Deanna. She looked at Zorion and said, "I'm meeting Scarlette. You don't have to keep me company."

Scarlette was standing at the entrance of the ward. She walked towards Raeleigh the moment she saw her. "I want to buy something," Raeleigh said. "Come along with me."

"Let's go," Scarlette said. "It just so happens that I want to buy something too." She then took Raeleigh by the arm and walked towards the staircase. With hands in his pockets, Zorion stood and watched as Raeleigh left. When she was out of sight, he turned around and walked to the corridor. Then, he took a seat, crossing his legs.

As he leaned against the wall, Raeleigh's calm face crossed his mind. He could be seen flashing a smile.

As they went down the stairs, Scarlette asked, "What do you want to buy?"

Raeleigh thought for a moment. "I'm not buying anything," she said. "Let's take a stroll."

"Raeleigh, are you alright?" Scarlette said as she raised her hand to touch Raeleigh. Raeleigh grabbed her arm and said, "I'm alright. I just feel like taking a stroll."

"You left the moment Deanna arrived," Scarlette asked curiously. "Are you trying to avoid her though?"

Raeleigh remained tight-lipped. She did not wish to talk about it, especially not to Scarlette since she was a blabbermouth.

Raeleigh thought that it was best to keep it to herself.

Scarlette's character was...

Raeleigh shook her head. She reckoned that it was best to keep mum about it and not to let the cat out of the bag lest more problems ensued. Bemused, Scarlette looked at Raeleigh and asked,

"Raeleigh, am I driving you nuts?"

Raeleigh gave her a clear- eyed gaze and said, "Nah."

"I don't think so," Scarlette said. "Anyway, I couldn't care less. Honestly, I think something's bothering you." Scarlette then turned around and took a seat. She was a girl who was comfortable in her own skin.

"It felt so uncanny to cross paths with you," Scarlette said. "Why in the world would I befriend someone like you?"

"What do you mean?" Raeleigh said with a smile. 'T m a good friend." At that moment, Scarlette could be seen stroking her chin. "Are you sure about that?" she said sceptically.

"Of course I am," said Raeleigh. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have befriended me."

Scarlette was at a loss for words. She often found herself to be outsmarted by Raeleigh.

As Raeleigh looked at her watch, she said that she wanted to head back to the ward. Then, they bought something at the shop before making their way to the ward.

Scarlette went to her room while Raeleigh headed straight to Santiago's ward. She was holding a watermelon.

"When Jepherson's here, I'll get him to find someone who can help you then," Raeleigh said, her voice as gentle as ever.

Santiago did not say anything. As this was a small washroom in a ward, Raeleigh could clearly hear what he was doing. She could tell that he was taking a dump.

Raeleigh raised her head and directed her gaze towards Deanna and Zorion. Deanna's face was tense, suggesting that she was unhappy.

Santiago was her brother-in-law. They were not a couple. "What' s with her feeling downcast though?" Raeleigh thought.

"Zorion..."

Deanna was visibly upset. She stroked her head and said, "Zorion, I'm feeling giddy."

Zorion frowned. "Why the sudden dizziness though?" he asked.

While Zorion was walking towards Deanna, she rolled her eyes back and collapsed.

"Deanna," Raeleigh screamed. Flabbergasted, she yelled as she walked towards Deanna.

Immediately, Zorion held her in his arms and carried her to the bed. "Call the doc, hurry up," he instructed.

Raeleigh dashed out of the ward. At that moment, Santiago walked out of the washroom and saw Deanna unconscious on the bed. Her face was pale. He then directed his gaze at the watermelon.
